Uncrating and Cleanup
Note: Read and understand the entire manual before attempting setup or operation.
1.Finish uncrating the saw and inspect for damage. Should any have occurred, contact your local distributor.
2.Remove all bolts attaching machine to shipping base.
3.Leave packing material between vice clamps and saw head intact until bandsaw has been
lifted to its final position.
4.Clean all rust protected surfaces with kerosene or diesel oil to remove protective coating. Do not use gasoline, paint thinner, mineral spirits, etc. These may damage painted surfaces.
5.Lubricate all slideways with SAE 1OW oil.
Installation
For best performance, the bandsaw should be located on a solid and level foundation. Allow room
for servicing and for moving large stock around the bandsaw when deciding a location for the machine.
1.Using lifting straps that are isolated from the bandsaw'sfinished surfaces, lift machine place in desired location. See figure 1 for strap placement.
2.Install four leveling bolts with lock nuts on both sides of the base as shown in the parts breakdown on page 12 - items #2 and #3.
3.Place a level on the table surface and check side to side and front to back.
4.Adjust leveling screws until machine is level in both directions and tighten locking nuts.
